Calcium Magnesium Plus D3 - Chewable 120 tablets

Why choose Calcium Magnesium Plus D3 Chewable by Seeking Health?

Calcium and magnesium citrates are supplied in a 2:1 ratio with natural vitamin D3 in convenient chewable wafers. Magnesium complements calcium and vitamin D by supporting bone strength and remodeling. It is also vital for energy production and proper cardiovascular function. Dietary calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are frequently lower than recommended, especially for persons on restricted diets. The ability to ingest and absorb adequate amounts of these nutrients may be further impaired following bariatric surgery. Calcium Magnesium Plus D3 Chewable may be of particular benefit for persons with impaired gastrointestinal function following illness or surgery.

Key Ingredients, Benefits and Actions -

Calcium citrate is a highly absorbable, well-tolerated source of calcium. It is formed by bonding calcium to citric acid, a naturally-occurring fruit acid. Calcium citrate is readily soluble and has been shown to have superior absorption compared to many calcium supplements including calcium carbonate or the calcium from milk. It is easily digested and absorbed equally well with or without food. The amount of calcium in this product is balanced with magnesium in a 2:1 ratio.

Magnesium citrate is a readily-soluble, supplemental form of magnesium. Magnesium citrate is better absorbed by individuals with hypochlorhydria (low levels of stomach acid) compared to less soluble forms of magnesium such as magnesium oxide.

Natural vitamin D3 is included to assist calcium absorption, thus enhancing benefits for bone health. This fat-soluble vitamin occurs naturally in only a few foods, thus is often fortified in milk and other products. Vitamin D can also be formed in the body upon adequate exposure of the skin to sunlight. Its major biological function is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus to form and maintain strong bones. Vitamin D also works with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones to promote bone mineralization, glucose metabolism, neuromuscular function, and overall health.

Calcium Magnesium Plus D3 Chewable may be used with a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement to boost daily intake of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D intake when necessary.
